The anniversary of the Rana Plaza building collapse in Dhaka, Bangladesh April 24 2014, 0 Comments

Today marks the anniversary of the Rana Plaza building collapse in Dhaka, Bangladesh, which killed over 1,333 people, seriously injured thousands more, and left hundreds of children orphaned. The building was the sweatshop of several famous clothing brands. One year after the disaster, victims have still not been fully and fairly compensated.

The Rana Plaza disaster serves to bring broad awareness of the dangerous and difficult conditions low-wage garment industry workers face and a growing movement of people asking questions about how their clothes are made and declaring that cheaper doesn't always mean better.

One World Fair Trade exists to promote safe and healthy work conditions and to raise awareness and educate our customers of Fair Trade as a powerful force for positive change in issues of global poverty and injustice.

Cheap fashion comes at a very high price. Because we believe in the importance and dignity of every human life, every product we offer is 100% ethically sourced, free from discrimination and free from any forced or child labor.

Use your purchasing power to “make your purchase make a difference” in the lives of people and communities and join a growing conscious fashion movement.

Please take a moment today to ask for justice for the victims of this disaster and to take a step toward a fashion revolution.  http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/o/2002/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=13836
